From your link:
"There doesn't seem to be an official definition for a "mass shooting" in the United States, but according to the Gun Violence Archive, a mass shooting is described as four or more individuals being shot or killed in the same general time and location."
So, that doesn't specifically say that the shootings are by the same person or even related. It would include any given day in Chicago, which had on average 7 shootings per day in 2017[1]. Yet nobody was really holding rallies or protests about that, because it's mostly inner city gang-related shootings, and Chicago is already heavily gun-controlled which doesn't support the narrative that we need more laws regarding guns in order to protect the children.

- spiznnx 9y agoI agree that city gun ordinances do little to combat gun availability for criminals, that's why we need nation wide legislation.
